That birth registration gives MMN Wake which ties in with 1886 marriage for Charles & Amelia Jane

1901 census also shows a brother Frank

hi guys

I know about brother Frank. he went to join the army. that's why he doesn't appare on the 1911 cencus and yes that birth reg is right lol. should I get the birth cert to see of there is any more info on there ?
suggestions anyone ?

[LizzieL]

The birth cert would give you exact date of birth. She might have been born late 1899 and still be registered in Q1 1900. If you have access to FindMyPast or can get access at a library, you could search on date of birth and Lizzie without a surname on the 1939 register

[Katie Hiscock]

I can try that yes. but how will it help if it has no surname ? also she was in school at the time so didn't have a profession. so I can't link them either

Mother Amelia Jane seems to have left a will.

Probate calendar 1937

Corps AmelIa Jane of Manor Cottage Stokesley Middlesborough widow died 14 Jan 1937 at Highcroft Ruscombe Twyford Berkshire Probate York 16 March to Charles Corps railway dock superintendent.

It might be worth obtaining a copy of this will.
